Before Being a Child, Mowgli Was a Young Man

Kipling presents Mowgli to his readers for the first time not as a child, but as a young man. In the short story “In the Rukh” (“In the forest”), contained in the 1893 collection Many Inventions, Mowgli enlists as a British forestry official. Kipling describes him as a very experienced guy in the Indian jungle. It is only after the publication of this story that Kipling decides to tell Mowgli’s adventurous childhood story.
